The example given in the article is that Kim Kardashian was fined $250K for not disclosing that she had been paid to endorse a cryptocurrency on Instagram.

In a TV commercial, sure, you assume that celebrities are paid to appear. But on a social media page that blends personal and commercial brands?

Maybe this could be a monetization avenue for Twitter: a #PaidForBy field that doesn't count against your character limit, and links to the approved brand page.

Ah, I see where I missed the point. I was thinking the TV Ads by Steph Curry, Tom Brady, Larry David, etc. Not the follow-up twitter posts adjacent to the TV campaign.

Thanks for clarifying! This will be interesting indeed.

I vouched for your comment. Don’t see anything wrong with it.
